The International Monetary Fund (IMF) sees private sector lending recovering next year, as the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) begins nudging domestic interest rates lower on improved macroeconomic conditions.

The multilateral lender nevertheless expects private sector lending to close at a lowly 3.3 percent this year before recovering to grow by 12.4 percent in 2025.
